So another poll tax

So another poll tax

Another registry like we have for pistols and semi-auto rifles, except this will apply to every firearm. For the most part, this is the state inserting itself between the dealer and the NICS system. The State Patrol will check a few other databases, but presumably, information in those that result in a denial would also have been sent to the NICS database.

This is about knowing who has firearms.

Theyre wanting BGC on ammo too !!!

So not only do they get new fiream buyers in their registry, they can make a presumption about every ammo buyer -- that they have firearms -- and put them in the registry.

 

[STEELE]

They're eating the "elephant" one bite at a time.

The NRA-ILA is reporting that at least part of this bill is good for CPL holders because it reinstates an instant check.

This will not work because those who use firearms illegally do not buy them from dealers. We need to use internet, facebook, etc. to monitor those who are a threat, guns are only one of many ways to kill people - look at cars for example....

 

[gunsmithkinks]

It's all about record keeping to know who has what guns, and to impose more cost to the Law abiding citizens of WA State, the same as they try doing to other states with various Hitler idealistic controlling methods. You can't control any people until you take away thier way to defend themselves
Just like England tried over 200 years ago, and at that time, they WERE our government when they tried controlling the colonials, and we all know what happened
When they tried that.

if the people Washington do not get off their asses and vote ALL of these Democrats out of office this state is screwed !!!

King George all over again.

Dude, the war is lost. They out number us by millions. Without a state electoral college, eastern WA never gets heard.

1639 failed in 34 of 39 counties. yet we the people voted for this tyranny.

It would also be nice if the state senates did NOT have to be apportioned by population, but were instead apportioned by county. The SCOTUS killed that in 1963, but a new SCOTUS could overturn Reynolds v. Simms if someone could figure out how to get a case up there. This basically made state senates nothing more than a second house of reps and over time, gave all power to metro areas.

Making the state senates work like the US Senate would go a long way to fixing this tyranny of the majority problem. It wouldn't do anything about initiatives but Jay and Bob's legislative agenda this year would die in the state senate if senators were allocated by county. As it is, Olympia to Everett along the I-5 corridor makes up more than half the WA senate so they get to ramrod anything they want and the rest of the state can get bent. This is not the way to create a stable system.

That's like saying "hey, we're going to buttrape you without lube, but if you don't fight us MAYBE we'll give you a reacharound."

I don't disagree. Hopefully you don't think I am advocating for the bill's passage.

Not at all, but I wouldn't put it past Weasel Wayne's Worthless Wankers... which is why as soon as my Life Membership is paid off I only cast my ballot for Knoxites on the Board.

Just think how much more litigation and public advocacy / education the NRA could have bought if it wasn't spending so much on multi-million dollar salaries and mansions.

Truth, brother. Truth.

That just pisses me off to no end.

You guys realize that Oregon has done their BGCs like this for years? This will actually create an equal playing field, given the situation the state finds itself in, for all purchasers. When 1639 went into effect, each county and all the city agencies had to absorb that burden. Some counties even contracted it out. If you lived in Thurston Co., the agencies did the checks and got back in 4 to 10 days. Pierce Co. used Sound 911 and they often took so long, the paperwork expired and had to be redone. Now, everyone gets screwed equally.
